Chapter 786 The Honest Farmer's Maid's Ex-Girlfriend 11
Han Lingxi suddenly thought that there should be no printing at this time, and books were all copied by hand, and the price of books was very expensive. Those who could afford books were the children of officials, and few ordinary people could afford books.

Not to mention buying books, the common people who can read at this time are very good. Lu Xin learned to read by walking seven or eight miles every day to eavesdrop outside the school in the next village. The village where they live does not even have a school.

Han Lingxi felt that this was a good idea. If she and Lu Xinxin printed books with movable type printing, they would probably be able to earn a lot of money.

Naturally, these things will be discussed after going back. Now Han Lingxi and Lu Xin are picking out those old books outside the bookstore together.

"Look at this collection of poems."

Han Lingxi flipped through a few books, and handed a collection of poems to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin looked at the collection of poems in his hand, and found that it was really a high-quality goods, with exquisite words and profound meanings, so he couldn't help but take a higher look at Han Lingxi. The ancient women who could read and write were all young ladies, ordinary women Several books are about women, no talent is virtue.

Now Han Lingxi could not only understand the characters, but also distinguish the quality of the books, which made Lu Xin admire her.

In fact, the original owner was indeed illiterate. Thinking about how she was sold into the Jing Mansion when she was seven or eight years old, who would teach her how to read? Han Lingxi only knew each other because she learned it in the ancient plane.

Lu Xin didn't ask why Han Lingxi knew each other, probably because she thought she learned it when she was a maid, so Han Lingxi didn't have to bother to explain.

Although he couldn't put it down for every book, in the end Lu Xin just bought the one Han Lingxi recommended to him and left.

Going home in an ox cart, Han Lingxi discussed this matter with Lu Xin at night.

"Lu Xin, you see that the price of books is so high, how about we also rent a shop to sell books? I pawned 30 taels of silver here, which can just be used for management."

Han Lingxi said, Lu Xin shook his head.

"Copying books is time-consuming, and you must be a literati who can write, so the price of books is very expensive, not many people buy them, and you can't make much money."

"Then can you write?"

Han Lingxi asked on a whim, he didn't see Lu Xin writing in his memory, and Han Lingxi felt that although Lu Xin knew some words from listening to Mr.'s lecture, he probably couldn't write.

"I, I will write some, but maybe not well."

Lu Xin scratched his head and said in embarrassment.

"It's great to be able to write."

Han Lingxi comforted him.

"Lu Xin, do you know about seals? If we carve the characters into seals and print them on books, don't we need to copy them?"

Han Lingxi mentioned her thoughts, but she didn't explain them directly, but guided them bit by bit.

"You mean, it's really good to print directly without copying, and you can have as many books as you want."

As soon as Lu Xin heard Han Lingxi's words, he understood, but then he said a little disappointed.

"But it takes too long to engrave a seal, and the labor is very expensive. We can't afford it now."

"Isn't there a blacksmith at the head of the village? Let's ask him to cast characters one by one, and arrange whichever character we use."

Han Lingxi said that after the advent of movable type printing, the price of books will drop significantly, which is also very helpful for common people to learn.

Han Lingxi didn't expect this technology to make much money, after all, someone should follow suit soon, but it is still possible to exchange for Lu Xin's good reputation and pay for their two years of living.
